How A-Team Delivers Pediatric Home Care
A-Team Home Care matches pediatric cases with caregivers who have specific experience working with children and their medical conditions. We understand that the caregiver-child relationship is critical — especially for children with autism, behavioral challenges, or technology dependence who require a consistent presence. We prioritize caregiver consistency and provide detailed orientation to the child’s routines, communication style, and behavioral profile.
For CHOP and hospital discharge cases, we work directly with discharge coordinators to arrange care that begins on the day the child goes home. Pennsylvania’s Attendant Care Program (Act 150), the OBRA Waiver, and CHIP/Medicaid may fund pediatric home care for qualifying children. Our team can help families navigate funding options at (215) 490-9994.
